Avon Arts Association to hold Members' Art Show

Community Contributor RITA BOND

The Avon Arts Association is happy to announce the upcoming opening of its annual Spring Members' Show. Original artwork from many of its talented members will be on display at the Simsbury Library Program Room from June 4th thru June 30th. This is a wonderful opportunity to obtain work from local artists, as most of the artwork will be available for purchase. Comments from visitors last year included: "incredible artwork!", "great program", "what a creative community!". The public is invited to a reception with the artists on Sunday, June 4th from 2:00 to 4:00 pm, where refreshments will be served and The Alex Butterworth Trio will perform their wonderful jazz music.Our annual arts scholarship awards for local high school students will also be presented at that time. Students from Avon, Canton, Farmington, Granby and Simsbury High Schools were invited to submit work, which was then juried by members of the Association. Last year, over $3,500.00 was awarded to students demonstrating excellence in their art.Regular library hours are Mon-Thurs, 9:30-8:30, Fri-Sat, 9:30-5:30, Sun, 1-5.
